CCP Internal Videos - Boot Ini

[foxgirl38]

this will happen too with the guy that walks in with a plan to sell non vanity item on the NEX store...

[TnG1200]

@CCPGAMEMASTERSuck My Guess is, he bought a whole bunch of Plex, and got his arse blown up while off to sell it.... lols

[CCPGAMEMASTERSuck]

@TnG1200 lol damn assume alot... "lols"

[Hal648]

@CCPGAMEMASTERSuck Looks like someone got podded without a clone or insurance.

[CCPGAMEMASTERSuck]

@Hal648 actually not at all

[Hal648]

@CCPGAMEMASTERSuck I played EVE on and off for about 3 years (short attention span, haha) and I never had a problem. The game works fine if you don't push it, the staff are capable and quick to respond and the majority of the player-base is friendly enough. So what was it? "Lag problems"? AFK Cloakers? "Useless" updates? Please, enlighten me.

[karuoun]

Had to watch again for lols



[sarmatiko]

Hey where is the story about new forum developers? :)

[utar88utar]

well, i really hate current version of cccp ($ greedy mfs) but this vid is funny :]

[oldsrgolds]

hahaha

WTF!

[piasared]

Even now I still laugh, and I restarted the pc. Oops

[beatdownbob]

Falling off the roof was the guy who said it on eve-o forums. Sorry for the confusion.

[Neonhelmet]

lmao

[baledain]

Thank god I started playing eve a couple of weeks after this. Like the way they make fun of it. Great corporation, nobody treats its fans/users as good as ccp does.

[lastelement21]

Hahahah, I remember when that happened. Patch fail, the website instructed people 'do not restart!'

[AlmightyZeus08]

and i had already restarted

[lastelement21]

My comps boot sector was very strange at that time, triple boot setup... even though I restarted, nothing went wrong.

[helios13633]

@lastelement21 i remember that!

[EveGallente]

Hhahahahahah xD

[Leman2288]

TBFH, it is M$ fault that they allow programs to mess with Boot.ini

[Brujovzla]

LOL :P I had never seen this video before ... <3 CCP ...

[Cyric1983]

I applaud CCP's admission that they SCREWED UP BIG TIME! Very rare with companies these days. *glances at Veoh*

[GROracle]

What did veoh do?!

[Cyric1983]

Go look around the Veoh forums...=)

[ealmintheplayground]

i got had by the boot.ini thing

good to see someone die for it :)

[rfry]

you gotta admit deleting the Boot.ini file was the most ridiculous thing u could do... I mean no game should have ANY reason to touch it... lol ridiculous

[katanaseiko]

It was not deleted. It was overwritten by the boot.ini that the CCP Blue Network uses. And it was overwritten because someone didn't read the f***ing manual.

On the other hand - this shows that XP has served it's time and needs to be replaced by something new. It's too easy to kill the entire OS. Try that with Vista or Seven...

[Cyric1983]

Sooo...you're officially the FIRST person I've seen that says Vista is better than XP...*slap* WUTZA MATTA FO YOU!

[katanaseiko]

You don't see a lot of people, do you?

[Cyric1983]

well, in my book, any "upgrade" that requires you to spend a significant amount of money just to be able to run the OPERATING SYSTEM at the same performance as the previous version is 100% FAIL.

[fwsGonzo]

i find it really hard to disagree

and since i dont care about flashy lights and well.. directx10 flashy lights, which is all thats new, it also means vista is a tragedy

its strange though how each time they make an OS it just has to be 200% slower... is there some WOW effect here? WOW this OS is so good i have to live with cpu usage even when its dormant!

[Shintsu2]

Hi there, let me be the second person you've seen who said that.

[rodrye]

They didn't have a reason to touch it, they were trying to touch c:\blah\Eve\boot.ini and they just left out the first part of the path !

If you had the game on another drive, or were running Vista you were fine. There were two dumb things, 1 was getting the path wrong, the second was that a game file was named the same as an essential windows file kept in c:\

[Taedrin]

The file had the same name as a system file because the file was originally a system file on the server. Eventually, this file was moved from the server to the client. They still should have changed the name when they moved it to the client, but to be fair, they probably didn't think that it would be possible to mix up the two files. Unfortunately, they were wrong.

[rekcaHrepyH]

The third was Windows letting a game overwrite a critical system file.

[mamolian]

LOL

[bobbobbob333Q]

LOL funny

[toyd011]

Hahaha that was awesome! Love you guys <3

[hackzoerz]

THIS!

[brygdomin]

Ever since I heard of the major screw up they did prior to my Eve Online experience, I still can't fathom how that managed to get patched in.

[fastercart]

I've been waiting for this video to show up. Wanted to show this to a few non-Eve friends.

[Aegrim]

what image?

[Axel88Flak]

How did you guys get the image of the guy out the window?

[gaurix]

They threw the guilty developer off the roof.

[KryptAngel]

Guy got off pretty easy just getting thrown at a window I know a few friends that woulda designed a far more creative and slower fate >:)

[MagpieV2]
